MediaTek's Adam King, Vice President and General Manager of Client Computing Business, discussed the company's recently Chromebook chip launches and what to expect in 2025.
“MediaTek is the number one provider of Arm-based Chromebooks,” King tells Laptop Mag. MediaTek’s Kompanio series of chipsets have powered a number of Chromebooks, while other arm-based chips haven’t really made it into the Chromebook market.
In 2024, MediaTek successfully launched the Kompanio 520 and 838 chipsets for Chromebooks like the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11 Gen 9, and the Dimensity 9000 series for flagship smartphones and tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra.
[In 2025] “We are also anticipating Google’s plan to utilize Android in Chromebooks,” King explains. “That will mean faster time to market for leading AI features, and fits very naturally with MediaTek’s expertise in Android for phones, tablets, and other devices.”
